Kanata ni tabidatsu anata mo mieta no? onaji hikari Seijaku ni ochiru sora futahira no yume hanabi Kirameite yurameite aoki yume mai hanatsu If it’s going to be over, at least let it be strong Let my love ring out to you like I wish it to I grasp the sparkling, dancing flowers of dreams The love that protects us rings out in earnestĪll kinds of words scattered abot mischievouslyĪnd the confusion that rooted me to the spot quietly disappeared, can you see I’m singing to you, singing of this love that tears my heart apart, can you hear my voice? Two petals from the fireworks of dreams fall quietly in the skyĭid you, who went away to the other side, see it too? It’s the same lightĮven if the two are apart, I believe that they’ll come together again someday Sotsugyo Shashin is a simple song with sparse background music.Sparkling, dancing, releasing a blue dream Yoshioka’s voice is splendid here too more feminine and calmer. It is accompanied by a simple guitar, and some back up vocals by Mizuno Yoshiki (the band leader). I love the melody of the verse it’s simple and pretty at the same time. Wow, more harmonica action in Sotsugyo Shashin.

The chorus’ melody is happy in an interesting way too (especially how the melody goes all over the place) must be hard to sing at parts. There’s this interesting part where Yoshioka speak-sings a part before going back into the verse again (neat part). I think I hear a harmonica in the background, but that might just be me. The next track has an interesting name: HOT MILK (O_O). It has a nice effect, and Yoshioka’s voice is perfectly suited for this job. My favourite part of this song is where Yoshioka sings a bridge section a capella near the ending. While I’m talking about the backg round music, there seems to be quite a bit of strings used in this song.

The main focus of this song seems to be on Yoshioka, since the background music fades at times. Out of the songs I’ve recently heard of, this song has one of the most interesting and captivating melodies. The song starts off with the vocalist, Yoshioka Kiyoe, singing with light accompaniment and then going into the verse. SAKURA is the A-side to Ikimono Gakari’s debut single. I’ve made another amazing discovery! Ikimono Gakari, a three person band, as some pretty good music, and their main vocalist has quite a strong voice too.
